Madrid-born Rafael Jódar is already in the Chinese city of Chengdu to compete in the tenth edition of the ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Finals starting this Thursday. This event features the top eight male and female players of 2024 in the global Under-18 circuit. In a year where he reached his first professional final in Dénia ($25,000), Jódar is the top seed of the tournament and also the recent junior US Open champion. 

The competition follows the same format as the ATP and WTA finals: an initial round robin stage with two groups of four players each, followed by semifinals and a final where the top two from each group advance. Jódar, currently ranked No. 4 in the junior world rankings, will be in Group A alongside the Dutch player Mees Rottgering, the Czech Jan Kumstat, and the Australian Hayden Jones. Group B will feature the Romanian Luca Preda, Czech player Maxim Mrva, British player Charlie Robertson, and the South Korean Jangjun Kim.
